the goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between motivational structure and marital satisfaction. participants (n = 122; 72% female) were recruited among married students of ferdowsi university of mashhad, who completed personal concerns inventory (pci) and marital satisfaction questionnaire (msq). principal component analysis (pca) was used to summarize the pci data. a summar...

The basolateral Na-H antiporter of the turtle colon exhibits both conductive and electroneutral Na+ transport (Post and Dawson. 1992. American Journal of Physiology. 262:C1089-C1094). To explore the mechanism of antiporter-mediated current flow, we compared the conditions necessary to evoke conduction and exchange, and determined the kinetics of activation for both processes. Outward (cell to e...

The Bora wind field is characterised by strong vorticity and divergence. Several numerical experiments, in which an oceanographic model was forced with northeasterly winds having climatological alongshore variability, were performed in order to study the influence of spatial variability in the bora wind field on the surface currents in the northern Adriatic. Numerical model results showed that ...

The properties of the tail current associated with the delayed rectifier K+ current (IK) in isolated rat pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells were examined using the whole cell patch clamp technique. The tail currents observed upon repolarization to -60 mV after brief (e.g., 20 ms) or small (i.e. to potentials negative of 0 mV) depolarizations were outwardly directed, as expected given the calc...

abstract turbidity current is one of the most important factors that effect the sediments distribution and also their transportation and release from reservoir. in this study, effects of these currents on sedimentation process in sefidroud dam were simulated by tcm model in 30 years period. comparison between the case of turbidity currents that reach to the dam wall and release from the reservo...

BACKGROUND There appears to be an obvious gap between a medical and patient adherence perspective. Deviating from a medication prescription could be regarded as fairly irrational, but with respect to patients' goals and/or concerns it could be seen as understandable. Thus, the aim was to elucidate adherence reasoning in relation to asthma medication. METHODS This was a qualitative study; data...

[1] The time evolution of rip currents in the nearshore is studied by numerical experiments. The generation of rip currents is due to waves propagating and breaking over alongshore variable topography. Our main focus is to examine the significance of wave-current interaction as it affects the subsequent development of the currents, in particular when the currents are weak compared to the wave s...
